Ed was the son of the late Harding Forsyth of West Roxbury, and late Florence Forsyth of Dorchester, and son in law to William Rowan of Holbrook. He was the loving companion for over 30 years of Susan Rowan of Holbrook, and beloved father of Nicole Forsyth of Waltham and Edward Forsyth of Holbrook. Brother of Eric Forsyth and wife Connie Forsyth of Marshfield, James Forsyth of Quincy, and Harding Forsyth of Tampa, FL.

Ed’s love for the ocean started with his father, who built the beloved wooden boat, Valhalla. On this boat, the family spent summers traveling up and down the New England seacoast. Ed served his country in the United States Coast Guard, where his knowledge and love of the ocean, as well as skills in boat handling, thrived. He was a lifelong member of Milton Yacht Club, and member of Old Colony Yacht Club, where he met everyone with a warm smile, helpful demeanor, and cold beer. Ed was truly loved by all.

Visiting hours will be held at Dolan Funeral Home, 460 Granite Ave, EAST MILTON SQUARE, on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, 4:00-8:00pm. Interment Private.
